To be honest it’s difficult imagining being the only one on earth. It's better to imagine it with at least one person and that should probably be a female because then my goal will be to repopulate the earth. But thinking about it from the point of being alone is quite depressing. Truth be told the only reason I would still be alive is after trying to kill myself and discoving that it’s totally impossible. What will I be doing? If it’s a matter of survival, I’m very sure I will be able to survive on my own, so yeah my fear is not surviving, my major fear is being utterly alone in this world.

As a christian, one of the things I have come to understand is that in the creation story, God specifically said that it is not good for a man to be alone, I mean if God says it ain’t good, they yeah it ain’t good. So if I discover I am alone, my goal will solely become finding a means to die because being alone, unable to reproduce, with nothing to look forward to, the only thing I know I would probably want would be to rest and become non existence because there is nothing I am doing all alone.
I love having something to look forward to, when there is nothing to look forward to, then for me, life has become useless. I need to have a dream, and the reason why it is easy to dream today is because there are people whose lives would be affected by the dream. No matter how I care for animals, they can never be in my dream or my purpose once all my species are gone. So in other words, if there is no one to live life with, then it’s probably not worth living afterall.
